The Villages of the West.

had talk recently with Massachusetts,
man, who has been west on q prospecting
tour He said: II have been astounded in 90
ing through the western country to note t e
remarkable stage of improvements which
they have attained If you get off the cars
at any town of 1900 or 5000 inhabitants or
larger, you will find yourself in the midst of
a civilization that is equal to any of the great
cities of the east You find electric lights.
perfect telephone and telegraph district mes
senger service, modern Improvements in the
way of sanitary drainage, street cars, fine
public buildings and perfect fire service.
Looking the place over you will find build
ings of modern construction finely equipped.
possibly with elevators and with ali the mod
ern improvements Such town is as far ahead
of New England place Of the same size as
anything you can imagine. 1t took me some
time to realize the conditions and to figure ont
the causes from which they resulted The
real fact seems to be that these western peo-
pie are getting the benefits of all the improve
ments and inventions and progress Of the
older civilization. The cars on the western
railroads are more luxurious than those of
the older lines in the east. Railroads are
built on scale of Improvement much finer.
1t would do the people of the east great good
if they could be transplanted out into the
western country for a little while to see the
differences l have noted. New York Trib-

Life on the Texas Border.

None of the houses belonging to the Mexi-
cans are very extensive, though many Of
them are quite comfortable, while others are
the veriest novels. How they manage to live
in some of them is a mystery. One old man
lives in a cave near the creek He is appar-
entity very aged, and during his whole life
had been q cowherd until age prevented his
peisuing that avocation any longer The old
man is bleareyed and deaf, wears sandals in
place of shoes and owns an immense straw
hat, which he has apparently used for years.
His hoarse voice frightens the children, and
his poor, thin blanket affords but little pro-
lection from the biting north wind Never
having known anything better than his
present condition, he takes it as q matter of
course, and scorns the copper cents which are
given to him in charity. II his countrymen
cannot do better than that he prefers having
nothing. He ordinarily carries bag over
his shoulder. into which donations of every
kind are poured without much reference to
congruity. In his day he has been q great
norseman, judging from his bow legs, on
which, with the help Of a cane, he totters
along. Once l saw little girl with him. and
could not but reflect what a life Of poverty
was in store for her This old man has seen
many vicissitudes, stretching back to the time
when comparatively little was known Of the
interior Of Mexico-C chihuahua Mex Cor.

Where Gambetta Died.

Gambetta's house, at Vile d'Avray, which
lately has been visited by so many devoted
republicans ON the anniversary OF his death,
is still a shabby, mean little place, though
now almost public monument, and owning
its own special garden. 1t is as bare inside
as outside. In the hall are chair and a
table, where the visitors write their names on
a sheet of paper. A poor staircase leads to
the room where Gambetta eied which has
been kept unchanged ever since. Two tables,
a chest of drawers and bed form all the fur
niture but tho walls are hidden by wreaths,
crowns and memorial marble tablets. which
have overfowed on to the staircase outside.
Cards and bouquets cover the tables, and
flowers are showered on the bed.-Homs

Memory of Faces.

There are as few people who can remember
faces as there are who can remember and re-
call facts, though people generally thinl, it is
very easy. l have had some amusing ex-
amples of the success of some of these people
in these undertakings Now on change we
have 3,212 members, and complimentaries to
bring the total up to 4 400 people. OF course
a large number of thesl people are not on
change once year, but when they do come
a Ierson must know them and not stop them.
as when they do visit the floor they generally
have visiting friends with them. and 10 stop
them would be embarrassing To assist me
in remembering these people have made
study Of faces and now rarely see stranger
that do not note some popularity about him
by which can identify him The habit has
grown so that often reg ister in nv memory
men with whom l have no connection. and
who will probably never see again
So YOU see this is a study, whether one has
a faculty for it or not, and when a person
talks about being able to do 50 otfhand, he is
talking about something he don't know any
thing about The other day friend Of mine
came up to me at the door on change, and
said he would like to bet me the dinners be
